    Megaesôfago secundário a persistência do quarto arco aórtico direito em felino: Relato de caso

    Persistence of the fourth right aortic arch is characterized by being a congenital vascular ring anomaly most commonly observed in dogs, considered rare in cats, comprising 95% of all vascular ring anomalies found in small animals. This condition results from malformations arising from changes in the embryogenesis of the aortic arches, where the right aortic arch persists in relation to the left aortic arch, leading to esophageal stenosis and, consequently, megaesophagus. The most evident clinical signs are regurgitation, weight loss, excessive appetite, apathy and discomfort after meals, in addition to dehydration and weakness, especially in puppies, in which dry food has recently been introduced. Respiratory signs may be associated with secondary aspiration pneumonia, due to megaesophagus. The diagnosis can be obtained through the analysis of clinical signs together with imaging tests, such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and simple or contrast radiography of the cervicothoracic region, where esophageal dilatation is visualized mainly with the contrast medium. Treatment is performed through a surgical procedure together with adjustment of dietary management, with a reserved prognosis, according to the clinical picture of each individual. Thus, the present study aims to describe the case report of persistent fourth aortic arch with secondary megaesophagus in a feline, in which the surgical procedure was performed as a treatment method.

    Abordagem clinica e estratégias de manejo da cinomose em canídeos silvestres: Revisão bibliográfica

    The study on distemper reveals that this viral disease can affect several native species, resulting in serious consequences for populations of wild canines, whether kept in captivity or not, with high rates of morbidity and mortality. The clinical signs observed in wild canines are similar to those found in domestic dogs and include lethargy, fever, nasal and ocular secretion, in addition to severe neuromuscular complications that can develop over time. The transmission of the virus between different species represents a significant threat to the conservation of wild species, especially due to the proximity of urban areas to the natural environment, which results in the fragmentation and degradation of habitats. In addition, the migration of domestic species to conservation and rehabilitation centers also contributes to the spread of the virus, since animals can carry pathogens and transmit the disease to wild species. This work highlights the importance of an effective clinical approach in the management of distemper for the conservation of wild canines, demonstrating the importance of adopting appropriate diagnostic methods and treatment strategies, as well as the application of preventive measures for the intervention and spread of the disease between species, thus protecting the health of these animals and preserving them from infectious diseases.
